Li Shouxin shook his head: "The northern captives are really weak, if it weren't for the fact that our troops are too small, we would have been able to open the castle gate and go out to cover up at this time." ”

Li Xuan said: "If all the cavalry gathers here, it can indeed be killed." ”

Zhang Han said: "Never underestimate the enemy, now that the initiative is still in their hands, the Beiyu is likely to fight stronger and stronger." ”

In fact, Zhang Han himself was not sure, and now he felt that the Beiyu was indeed really weakened to the extreme, from the time He Yusheng began to build the military platform to the present, the reaction of the Beiyu was a mess, and it was not easy to gather a large army to attack the fort, and as a result, the military platform was fought like this.

Li Shouxin said solemnly: "What my lord said is very true, now that the northern captives are strong, we have no way to support the military Taidun Fort, we can only rely on their own garrisons, and we can only hope that our army will become stronger and stronger, and the experience will be more and more sufficient." ”

The next day, the Mongols did not attack Taiwan again, but remobilized a large number of siege equipment, and severely punished a large number of armoured soldiers and herdsmen who discarded their weapons on the battlefield, and a large number of soldiers were whipped, and a few were dragged to death by horses.

On the morning of the third day, shortly after dawn, another five or six thousand people gathered, and this time the Mongols simply filled in the small river first, and countless herdsmen carried sandbags into the river, and after more than an hour, the river was cut off, and then it was trampled flat, completely filling the river hundreds of zhang long. Thousands of people began to drive directly along the filled place in the direction of the military platform.

The sound of gongs and drums sounded on the military platform, and the big drum also sounded in the direction of Jining Fort to cheer for the military platform.

In the southwest, there are still a few dungeons, and you may not be able to see the battlefield, but the people guarding the piers and the platform are also beating gongs and drums to cheer for the military platform.

The Mongols began to blow their horns, and the soldiers shouted loudly in an attempt to overpower the sound of the forts.

The big war is about to start again, although it is a big battle of thousands of people besieging dozens of people, but it has also created an unusually large momentum.

When they were close to half a mile, the Mongols divided into small groups, and then their steps quickened, and their shouts became louder.

There were also some cavalry horses galloping from both wings, it seems that Ah Cheng and Nemuge and others have learned their lesson, feeling that they can't charge the battle with pure infantry, and they want to use cavalry to attract fire from the military platform.

The cavalry came first, and the two wings quickly approached within a range of dozens of paces, and the cavalrymen exhaled, drew their bows one by one, and then shot the arrows into the air with a "drink".

There are more than 1,000 horsemen on both sides, bows and arrows are thrown upwards from a distance of dozens of paces, the people on the military platform only hear the rustle like the woods being blown up, and then countless arrows like locusts fly up, most of the arrows fall directly on the wall base of the military platform, the tips of the iron arrows shoot on the square bricks, making a clanging sound, a small number of arrows are shot into the military platform from above, and fall on the grass curtain, and soon form a bush from the subordinate.

Such a dense salvo soon stopped, for fear of firearms attack, the cavalry galloped all the way without stopping for a moment, and the military platform did not shoot at these cavalrymen, the muskets may have hit some people, and the artillery wanted to adjust the angle to shoot at the galloping cavalry, it was too difficult.

A few people were injured by the falling arrows, and made a deep cry of pain, but fortunately, the lethality of this arrow was very limited, and those few people were not injured in the critical situation.

"You fill the trench from all sides, and then bulldoze the horse wall after filling the trench, we are the descendants of Genghis Khan, more than 100,000 troops are fighting with the Ming people on the grassland, if you can't uproot this military platform, how to call the name of the ancestors?"

Nemuge drew his sword and shouted, and the generals present waved their swords and shouted together, because it was a siege battle, the Taiji did not come out to lead the troops, they were all entrusted to the generals under their command, and everyone felt high morale and fearless at this time.

The herdsmen shouted, and thousands of people divided into small groups, each carrying a bag of dirt, rushed forward desperately.

They had seen the sharpness of firearms, and they were eager to drop the dirt bag so that they could turn back immediately.

Thousands of people shouted, as if such a shout would make the Ming people dare not open fire.

They soon approached the trench, and then they saw the fire flickering on the platform, and then the rumbling cannon fire rang out again!

People were terrified, and many people subconsciously stopped their movements and looked at the sky.

The shells are falling again!

Shells ploughed out bloody paths in the crowd, and the tiger squat cannons were also fired, killing and wounding dozens of people in a round of shotguns...... The main thing is that they are too close, this time they have approached the trench, the distance is less than a hundred steps, and in some places there are only fifty or sixty steps, so close, even if the accuracy of the tiger squat cannon is not high, it can hit a nest with its eyes closed.

"Don't retreat, those who retreat will be killed!"

"Taiji has an order, and you are not allowed to retreat!"

Behind the herdsmen were the armored soldiers who supervised the battle, and they looked terrified, but they waved the weapons in their hands, forcing the herdsmen to continue to move forward.

The sound of artillery kept ringing, and by the time the fifth round was reached, at least two or three hundred people had fallen to the ground in front of the trench about a hundred paces, and one herdsman finally could not bear it anymore, and fled despite the threat behind him.

One man took the lead, and everyone started to move backwards, even the armor soldiers ran along!

The cavalry on both flanks could only retreat, they were afraid of the turning of the guns on the military platform, and without the cover of the herdsmen, they were afraid of being the target of the attack.

There was another burst of cheers on Jining Fort, mixed with the sound of cheerful drums and gongs.

This time, even the people of Minfu and the Han people in Banshengdi were smiling, they were also afraid of war, and they were afraid of the northern captives like tigers, but seeing thousands of people besieging a small military platform was in vain, which greatly increased everyone's confidence, and people felt the hope of victory.

This fiasco even shocked Bu Shitu and Bai Hong Da Taiji, and all Taiji rushed over from their respective stations as soon as possible.

"How so?" Bai Hong Da Tai Ji is very puzzled, although the military platform in front of him is covered with bricks, but a radius of more than 100 steps, about four zhang high, is a typical Ming army military platform, when the previous entrance, even the Ming army's military fort and acropolis have been conquered, as long as you are willing to die, how many forts can not be captured?

Ah Cheng frowned and said: "Most of the Ming army's border fortresses are dilapidated and damaged, the training of soldiers is poor, and the military discipline is also poor. ”

Geng Ge said indignantly: "It's also better for people to dare to fight back then!" ”

Bu Shitu Khan pondered: "In the past few decades, we have almost been at peace with the Ming Kingdom, and it seems that we have also neglected our armaments. ”

Ah Cheng said: "It's not just us, Lin Dan Khan and Fried Flower Taiji, the soldiers also use soft bows, and some bows don't have ten strengths, which are useless, and they don't train cavalry battles, let alone attack the city, so in the past ten years, the east has rarely attacked the Ming Kingdom, and it has been repeatedly defeated by Jianyu." ”

The faces of Taiji present were a little angry and a little ashamed, they didn't expect that the confident siege battle had not yet begun, and there were so many difficulties under such a small military platform.

Ah Cheng said: "First of all, we must severely punish the first to escape, this time we must drag more people to death, strictly enforce military discipline, and the other is to change the tactics of war, we can no longer use such a dense formation to fill the trenches, and when we attack under the military platform, we can storm the city gate and climb the city, and then take advantage of the large number of people......"

Bu Shitu said: "This time, each Taiji entrusted the battle to Ah Cheng Taiji's command, and naturally did it according to Ah Cheng's wishes. ”

At this time, everyone also had some hatred for the same enemy, and agreed to come down together.

Before evening, Ah Cheng and the others identified dozens of herdsmen who had fled first, including some armored horsemen, all of whom were stripped of their robes and tied with ropes on their feet, and the cavalrymen began to gallop across the grassland despite their pleadings.

At first, the turf felt very soft and not painful, but then the person who was dragged felt a hot pain on his body, and after dragging for a distance, the skin was worn out and began to bleed, and the blades of grass were stained with a lot of blood beads, and then the skin was completely broken, and the bleeding did not stop, the whole turf was stained red with blood, and the cries of the people became weak, and finally the person was dragged into a bloody man, and when the cavalry returned, the horses were drenched in sweat, and of course the people behind them were dead.

Ah Cheng said to everyone with an indifferent face: "If you don't fight hard and die, the first to escape, this is the end." If it falls into the hands of the Ming people, it is hanging in front of their castle, do you still dare to escape? ”

Early in the morning of the third day, the Mongols attacked again.

This time the cavalry pressed forward, and the arrows were fired more fiercely, and the military platform was forced to fire several rounds at the cavalry with a Franc machine, and the cavalry was forced to retreat.

The herdsmen of the brigade took shovels and cloth bags and ran towards the trenches.

This time they were all in columns, coming from all directions, and the queue was very scattered.

Artillery was still fired on the platform, but the killing effect of artillery fire was obviously not as good as in the first two times.

Even so, the sound of artillery still did not stop, and by the time of the seven rounds it still killed and wounded nearly a hundred, and after the seven rounds, the barrel of the cannon was heated and needed to be cooled from time to time, and the artillery firing of the Ming army began to slow down.

Ah Cheng's expression did not move, but he said in his heart: "It turns out that their artillery will slow down after seven rounds!" ”

This time, the herdsmen persevered until the trench was filled, and when they tried to push forward the barrage wall, the power of the tiger squat cannon became greater, and the Franc machine was also replaced with a shotgun, and a projectile shot killed and injured many people, and no matter how strong the nerves were, they could not hold on, and finally some people escaped.

Before dark, Ah Cheng had to order the fleeing herdsmen to be dragged to death, and this time there were more than 100 people.

Xi Lingse rushed to hear the news, and said to Ah Cheng with an unhappy expression: "My people are no longer enough, most of the people who will be dragged to death this time are my herdsmen, can Ah Cheng Taiji forgive them for their capital crimes and whip them instead?" ”
